mc-4 receptor

THIQ is a selective melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) agonist (hMC4R and rMC4R with IC50 of 1.2 nM and 0.6 nM , respectively).

MCL0020 is a potent and selective melanocortin MC4 receptor antagonist (IC50 values are 11.63, 1115, and >10,000 nM at MC4, MC3, and MC1 receptors, respectively). It significantly reverses stress-induced anorexia without affecting food intake in free-feeding rats and exhibits anxiolytic-like activity in vivo.

MC-4R Agonist 1 is an agonist of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R) and is useful in researching sexual dysfunction, obesity, and diabetes.

SNT-207707 is a potent, selective and orally active antagonist of melanocortin MC-4 receptor(IC50 of 8 nM (binding) and 5 nM (function) on the MC-4 receptor).

SNT-207858 free base is a selective, blood brain barrier penetrating, potent and orally active antagonist of melanocortin-4 (MC-4) receptor(IC50 of 22 nM (binding) and 11 nM (function), on the MC-4 receptor).

SNT-207858 is a selective, blood brain barrier penetrating, potent and orally active antagonist of melanocortin-4 (MC-4) receptor. SNT207858 has an IC50 of 22 nM (binding) and 11 nM (function) on the MC-4 receptor.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (4-10) is a potent agonist of the melanocortin receptor (MC4R).

(p-Iodo-Phe7)-ACTH (4-10), a derivative of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) produced by the anterior pituitary gland, functions as a melanocortin (MC) receptor antagonist and effectively inhibits α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-induced excessive grooming behavior in rats [1].

Acetyl-ACTH (4-24) (human, bovine, rat), a proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptide fragment, functions as an agonist at the MC-1 receptor [1]. This compound encompasses a sequence present in adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH), the precursor for α-MSH, illustrating its significant role in the POMC peptide family.

MC-4R Agonist 2 (Example 1), a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is used in research related to obesity, diabetes, inflammation, and erectile dysfunction [1].

HS024 is a highly potent melanocortin MC4 receptor antagonist (Ki values are 0.29, 18.6, 5.45 and 3.29 nM for cloned human MC4, MC1, MC3 and MC5 receptors respectively). Increases food intake, and blocks α-MSH- and MTII-induced hypotension and bradycardia in rats, following central administration in vivo.
